21N Transcript of recorded statement
(1) Despite any other law, the prosecution in a domestic violence
offence proceeding is not required to provide a transcript of a
recorded statement for the proceeding to the defendant or the
defendant's legal practitioner.
(2) In a jury trial, the court may order that a transcript of all or part of
the evidence given in the form of a recorded statement be supplied
to the jury if the court considers that a transcript would be likely to
help the jury understand the evidence.
